ABSTRACT

While a large body of scholarship has analysed the nature and dysfunction of Australian climate policy over the past generation, there has been little examination of how the Australian state has reorganised itself institutionally to create and execute climate policy. Filling this gap, I explore the evolution of federal climate institutions since the early 1990s, describing how they have fared in the midst of Australia’s highly polarized political debate around climate, as well as how they have facilitated and constrained Canberra’s ability to develop effective climate strategies.

逆流而上：澳大利亚气候机构和两极分化政治

摘要

虽然大量学术研究分析了过去一代澳大利亚气候政策的性质和功能障碍，但很少研究澳大利亚国家如何在制度上重组以制定和执行气候政策。为了填补这一空白，我探索了自 1990 年代初以来联邦气候机构的演变，描述了它们在澳大利亚围绕气候的高度两极分化的政治辩论中的表现，以及它们如何促进和限制堪培拉制定有效气候战略的能力.
